Picking Up the Pieces
Feeling like an unwanted intruder at that moment, she was about to leave when she noticed that scattered on the big table there were three jigsaw puzzles in progress. Goldi-chan loved puzzles, and, feeling a bit curious, she wanted to see what the pictures were. The first puzzle had larger pieces and what appeared to be a barnyard scene with different types of farm animals.
Goldi-chan looked over the image, and before she realized it, she was fitting the the pieces into place. No sooner than she noticed the puzzle was completed “Oops, I finished it! That was a little too easy I guess,” she whispered to herself.
Not feeling satisfied, she proceeded to the head of the table where, next to the largest puzzle, there stood neat rows of perfectly stacked pieces all indexed according to their particular shape and size. She could see that this puzzle was definitely more complicated than the last. The picture appeared to be an aerial view of some kind of topographic map and detailed descriptions. She picked up one of the pieces from a stack, which were much smaller than the first puzzle, and attempted to see if she could find where it might fit. Having failed to achieve this after several minutes, she grew frustrated and gave up. This one is way too hard for me, she thought to herself before moving on to the third and final puzzle at the other end of the table.
This one seemed like it was more up to her speed. It was a picture of a page from an illustrated field guide of all the different types of flowers in area. The art was very inviting. The illustrations of the flowers were colorful and brimming with fine little details that made them almost look real. The pieces weren’t so large, and, from what she could see, only a portion of the puzzle had already been put together. Goldi-chan found herself so taken with the beautiful art that she immediately sat down and started working on piecing the puzzle together in front of her.
